On Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported that legendary quarterback Tom Brady is retiring after 22 seasons.
Darlington tweeted that reported at 2:29 PM ET.
At 3:33 PM ET, Schefter tweeted a message from Brady's agent, saying his client had not made any retirement plans yet.
At 4:09 PM ET, Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud reported that Brady had called Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht to tell him he had not made a decision on retirement yet.
What a mess, right?
It seemed like Darling and Schefter fooled everyone on Saturday.
Everyone except Titans wide receiver AJ Brown, who was never really buying into the Brady retirement report.
Brown tweeted at 3:16 PM ET — before Schefter tweeted the message from Brady's agent — that he truly believes Brady isn't done playing football.
Credit to Brown for sniffing out that something was off about this report. He nailed it.
Now, it's still possible that Brady decides to retire. But for now, no decision has been made.
In fact, Brady says he's not even close to making a decision.
